ABC's "Manhattan Love Story" is Fall 2014's First Cancellation
by Andy Swift
October 24, 2014
ABC’s "Manhattan Love Story" is not getting a happy ending. The romantic comedy — which starred Analeigh Tipton and Jake McDorman as a new couple in the Big Apple — has been cancelled, making it the first official victim of the fall TV season.
The internal monologue-heavy rom-com premiered on Oct. 1 to 4.7 million total viewers and a 1.5 rating, and by its fourth outing had dropped to 2.7 mil/0.7.
Even more damming, the show was only seeing a 15 percent boost from Live+7 DVR playback — the lowest return of any scripted series this fall.
Next Tuesday, "Manhattan Love Story’s" vacancy will be filled by a second helping of "Selfie" (which has been averaging 4.1 million viewers and a 1.1 rating).
